Hi.

I wiring the control panel for my new tank now i i got myself a new UV sterilizer.
I need to know how long does it have to work every day... should i plug it into a timer that will automatically shut it on and off? or can i just plug it into a switch and i will control it acording to the need?

how long should a UV sterilizer work every day?

Thanks

I connected mine to a switch, and turn it on for a day or so when/if the water gets cloudy.

It is good to turn it on when you add new fish or plant in your tank. I bought a uv after i have a major loss of fish in my tank never had problem since. let it on for at lease a week 24/7
